A Town Like Alice was originally a book by Nevil Shute (On The Beach). VCI’s version of the film is the stellar 1956 release, and the company has provided viewers with an incredibly clean and sharp print. The film is particularly interesting as it provides viewers with a sense of an independent woman’s life during World War II. Recently moved to Australia, Jean Paget is provided a chance to move…

What seemed to be nothing more than a bit of scrap starts to take over various living creatures and turns them into metal. This becomes a problem when the satellite gains some form of sentience. Whether the city is able to…

The 2X2 (4GB) pairing is coupled with low latency (7-7-7-20), ensuring rapid retrieval of information and an across-the-board decrease in loading…

The fact that this recording still exists is particularly impressive, as a number of the television stations that received these performances recorded over these…
Before understanding that this is a side project of Dandy Warhols’ Taylor-Taylor, I originally thought The End Records had picked up a collection of rare tracks from the late modern period. While this is ultimately not true, One Model Nation is an act that calls back to the rich German musical tradition. This means that the band takes on Can, Kraftwerk, and even later acts like Joy Division during…

Weeds – the Showtime comic/drama about a widowed suburban mom who turns to drug dealing to make money – has always been a victim of its own success. The first couple of seasons were remarkably fresh, with quirky supporting characters and even quirkier plot points then it ran into a wall trying to one-up the original premise. Drug dealing led to smuggling and then marrying a corrupt Mexican mayor/cartel leader,…
